To check the wear of the final drive, visually check the pinion (14) and sprocket (17). If the teeth are found to worn as shown in the figure (dotted line), the sprocket must be renewed.


To check the amount of wear on the chain (8), keep the chain taut and measure 16 links.
If the length (l) is greater than 256.5 Mm, the chain should be replaced.
Important
The sprocket (17), engine pinion (14) and chain (8) must all be replaced together as a set.

Removing of the front sprocketBleeding of the abs hydraulic system
If some "sponginess" is detected on the brake control, due to air bubbles in
the system, bleed the system, as indicated in
sect. 4 - 3, Changing the brake fluid.
Before bleeding a brake pump, move back the calliper pistons, as indicated in
(sect. 4 - 3, Changing the brake fluid) to Drain in ...
Specific operating strategies
Idle speed
No electric motor is used for idle speed regulation (bypass is modulated
instead with the throttle valve), as idle speed
control is effected by the ride-by-wire system. Idle speed is maintained by the
control unit when the speed drops below a
specific threshold and when the clutch ...
Removal of the shock absorber support
Remove the rear brake master cylinder (sect. 7 - 4, Removing of the rear
brake control).
Remove the rear shock absorber (see removal of the rear shock absorber of this
section).
Loosen the screws (2) and (7) and their nuts (35).
